The soils in the region of Schloss Vipava in Slovenia play a crucial role in wine production. The clay-rich soils of these sun-drenched hills provide optimal conditions for growing grapevines. The diversity of soil composition and the Mediterranean influence result in wines with unique minerality and a strong sense of terroir. These soils, combined with the traditional winemaking practices of the estate, help the wines of Schloss Vipava develop their characteristic freshness and expressive quality.

Sauvignon is known for its aromatic qualities and is one of the most widely grown varieties in Vipava. This grape variety allows the winemaker to create either a youthful and aromatic wine or a more complex, richer wine that may be aged in wood. The vineyards are primarily located in the lower parts of the valley, where the grapes can maintain their aromatic characteristics. The unblemished, hand-harvested grapes were macerated for 10 hours, gently stirred, and clarified. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, and the young wine was then aged for six months on its lees to preserve the aromatic qualities and enhance the richness and length of the flavor.
